Alonzo Maxile, Jr / a study
Not happy with this sketch but this work-in-progress, a presentation of a striking and warm downtown denizen named Alonzo Maxile, Jr, is driving me. I shot 4 photos of him on Spring St during the Revel and he was soft-spoken, kind and sort of magnetic. Hope to find him again over the holidays and to find a fluent way of capturing his holiness.
Hilaire Manteaux - a study in Warholia
Soon I will be exploring the Andy Warhol blotted-line technique. It involves India ink and Strathmore paper and I am excited about the possibilities. This portrait of Hilaire Manteaux was a first run, but without the ink. Nonetheless, I think of this sketch as evocative of the early Warhol illustration style.
